Hi to All,
The full tournament schedule for the San Bernardino Division is now posted on AskFred.net and you may pre-register on-line now.
If you are a foil fencer, the new USFA rule requiring the chest protector covering over the male/female chest protectors is mandatory at all tournaments, even Division tournaments.
Chest protectors will be checked, on strip, prior to the commencement of pool bouts and D.E.’s.
The first tournament of the season will be at College of the Desert on Saturday, September 15, 2018.
COD has some extensive re-building going on right now. Please enter COD via the Fred Waring entrance to avoid the construction and the Street Faire.
You may park in Parking Lot 5, right in front of the Gym.
Please make sure you have proof of current 2018-2019 USFA membership.
Looking forward to seeing you all!
